By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor Thoughtful Ramblings Modern-day slavery always seemed distant to me - somewhere, across an ocean and in a world wholly different from my own, I knew people were living horrific lives as someone else's property. But when the speaker at IJM's Chapel forum last Thursday dangled shackles that are in use today, slavery ... [Read More…]
Become an abolitionist today
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor Slavery is no longer a problem. The time of slavery was the time of a bearded, top-hat wearing president and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." At least that's what I used to think. After attending the International Justice Mission Chapel forum on Thursday my eyes have seen the glory, and I realize slavery ... [Read More…]
Don’t waste your time on Discovery
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor A great TV day is when I can watch A&E Biographies, the History and Discovery channels and maybe a few episodes of "Law & Order." What I love about the previous three channels are the shows of the unknown, mysterious and even the grotesque. The best example of a show I used to schedule my life around is anything ...

Facebook: the new way to protest
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor Say you're fighting mad about something or want to see some change around you. You need to let the world, or at least a few close friends, know the extent of your rage and how you plan to start the next big revolution. But you're smarter than previous generations who tried this. People before you held picket ... [Read More…]
Experience of a Sing Song Convert
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor My first impression of Sing Song was a picture of a red-cheeked, wide-eyed smiling girl on a poster in Moody Coliseum, and to be honest, I was scared and confused. I didn't understand why rotating your arms like a star, singing rip-offs of oldies and smiling like a person overdosing on Prozac were things that ... [Read More…]
Don’t forget all the cosmonauts: Correspondence from Russia
By Denton Josey, Page Editor Growing up I remember seeing commercials for Space Camp. It seemed like a cool idea when I was young, but as I grew older Space Camp became un-cool, so I ditched the idea and made fun of it instead. Studying in Russia, I've been thinking about space exploration because Russians are proud of the space program and their ... [Read More…]
Speed process, aid legal immigrants
By Kelsi Peace, Features Editor Thoughtful Ramblings You are worried. You are starving. Your family is starving, and you are running out of hope. The new frontier everyone is talking about crosses your mind, but as always, you shove it aside knowing that it could take years to get past the legalities. What if you simply slipped past the system - ... [Read More…]
Immigrants help, not harm, America
By Mallory Schlabach, Editor in Chief Face the Facts Anti-immigration activists believe that more immigrants arriving in the country will take away native-born American's jobs, cause the country to lose its English tongue and plunge the economy down the drain. If immigrants take away everything Americans have worked so hard to create, what about ... [Read More…]
Learning to live without a leader
By Jared Fields, Managing Editor A phenomenon no ACU student can prepare for has the campus on its knees. It is greater than Sing Song preparations, more important than class attendance and possibly more vital to our spiritual health than prayer. The most pressing issue here has to do with who is in charge. Right now, no one seems to be. We ... [Read More…]
Chapel apology not necessary
By Daniel Johnson-Kim, Sports Editor Political correctness can be a good thing. But as most redundant sermons or lectures will tell you, too much of a good thing is bad. One recent example of unneeded political correctness was Matt Worthington's apology last Friday for comments he made in his speech about racial reconciliation on Jan ... [Read More…]
